As we've quite a few new followers here, ("Hello & Thank you") I will explain what's going on! Here at Uniko I *USUALLY* only release new products every other month. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, being an avid paper crafter myself and knowing the current economic climate I know 'some' are on a limited budget when it comes to buying new stash, so this way you're not tempted to splurge too much every month.

The second reason is that it is just me here at Uniko HQ. I currently run this little business single handedly, designing, blogging, demoing, classes, packing. Alongside that I am a full time mum to 2 year old twin boys. So releasing every other month gives me chance to keep my head above water, well...just about! However, with having a break over the Summer with releases I wanted to squeeze one last release in before the end of the year!

So I am back today, with the help of the awesome design team to introduce you to the three clear stamp sets available to purchase HERE now!

If you missed any of the product introductions, you can catch up HERE and HERE.

Let's have a look at the three clear stamp sets...

First up is Christmas Pop, this is a FUN geometric styled Christmas Tree building stamp set. Along with the obvious Christmas theme it is also suitable for other occasions and stylised creations.

Lastly but by no means least we have a fun addition to the 'Rustic' collection! This fun mini set has so many possibilities on its own, but pair it with sentiments and images from Rustic Christmas and Background Builders: Vines and Vines Winter Additions for even MORE possibilities!

Now I have done all the formal introductions, how about an awesome inspirational hop showing you what these clear stamp sets can do?!

Simply hop along the links below and be sure to leave a comment along the way for your chance to WIN the ENTIRE release! A winner will be picked at random from all the comments left along the hop before Midnight Friday 2nd December GMT.

As today is the last Uniko product release of 2016, I decided to give some random prizes to people who have joined in on the release countdown fun across social media and on the blogs. All the winners have been selected randomly, so without further ado lets announce some lucky winners...

Hey & Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates. May you have a day filled with love, thanks, family and friends.

It's already Thursday again, which means it is time for another challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This month Patricia is our hostess this month and has another fabulous CAS sketch HERE for you all to try...

This is what I came up with...

I struggled with my creativity with this sketch at first, but finally got there in the end and I am pretty happy how it turned out too!

The countdown to the Uniko November Release is underway and I have shared Sneak Peeks HERE and HERE. All the release stamps are on my desk as I finish up projects for the Introductions and Release Day posts, so a few happened to sneak onto my card ;)

Along with using a few new stamps on the card I combined them with some from Background Builders: Vines Winter Additions a set which coordinates lovely with one of the November Release clear stamp sets!

So, I am linking up over there and I look forward to seeing you in the gallery! Oh and don't forget the current Uniko Challenge HERE is also Christmas ;)

Ok, that's all from me for now, I hope I have inspired you to give these colours a go and join in on the challenge this week. Be sure to stop on over HERE and check out what the rest of the CAS Colours & Sketches DT have done using the colours and I hope to see you in the gallery.

Even though we do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, I am truly thankful for each and everyone of you. Without all of YOU Uniko wouldn't still be going, so THANK YOU and welcome to the last release of 2016 here at Uniko.

This month we have 3 more clear stamp sets to add to the Uniko collection, they have a Christmasy theme to them but 2 of the 3 can be used for other occasions too :)

As usual we start the countdown to release with some little sneak peeks, you may have already seen a few peeks at the new sets around the Design Team blogs and social media. However, if you missed the first two 'official' peeks you can catch up HERE and now onto the last little peek...

Lastly but by no means least we have a fun addition to the 'Rustic' collection! This fun mini set has so many possibilities on its own, but pair it with sentiments and images from Rustic Christmas and Background Builders: Vines and Vines Winter Additions for even MORE possibilities!

Ok, so that's all the peeks for this release! That means tomorrow we start the real fun and you get to see the first two peeks in action. The Design Team and I have created lots of eye candy to show you some of the possibilities these sets, there will be a DT blog hop and don't forget the chance to win a random prize ;)
